"Hey, Ian, can you come move this box a little so I can get my bike through?.""Oh, yeah, sure.""Just a little more please son, I need to park my bike right there by the radiator.""Oh, yes, Right, because you're the only one privileged enough to park your bike in the house while the rest of us have to take ours all the way to the back!""Yep. You wanna fight about it, or d'you want to push out three babies?"

Too right Jenn. With you all the way. And just for future reference (since I may use this one myself in the future), did he then look disgusted and wander off upstairs to play on Wii and rid his mind of horrific female images? Thought so...

That one wore out too long ago for me. Besides, with girls, the shudder factor doesn't really apply. My favorite trick lately is to hum the "William Tell" overture. I sang the "Mom Song" so often it is now guaranteed to bring a shudder and just humming usually elicits an "All right, all right"!!

Oh, speaking of stretch marks, I am literally showing you mine on my blog. I've had so many requests for pregnant belly shots, I finally posted one (although it's only part of my belly and Julia's in it stealing all of the attention with her to-die-for eyelashes).

Something to Consider

Something About Me

The story begins like this: A couple of years ago my husband got a crazy notion in his head that returning to school after years in the professional world might be a good idea. So he and I along with our three children left our suburban life in the U.S. and traded it for a new adventure in The Netherlands.

The saga continues like this:
A year of post graduate study was so much fun, we figured we'd stay a while longer. Working in a new field, attending new schools and living in a new city, I dare say we have settled into a rhythm in our expat lives.

This blog is the record I keep of our experiences here; good, bad and hilarious. Intended as an outlet for my expression, this is the place for me to say my something.
